Mt. Gox Creditors Agree to $1.3Bil Repayment in BCH, BTC, No Altcoins, by Summer 2019
Mt. Gox, the defunct and disgraced bitcoin exchange (at one time the biggest in the world) is preparing a final chapter in a long, sorted ordeal. Creditors have coalesced around a repayment scheme to make victims whole. It includes what might amount to $1.3 billion in returned bitcoin cash (BCH) and bitcoin core (BTC) as early as summer of 2019.

Mt. Gox Creditors Outline Plans for Repayments by Summer of Next Year
The civil rehabilitation plan, a legal maneuver short of formal bankruptcy within the Japanese system, has been updated this August, relating to Mt. Gox and making victims whole. In an announcement published recently, creditors revised policy to better reflect feedback from the previous iteration.
The revision includes how formal repayment to victims will be in bitcoin cash (BCH) and bitcoin core (BTC) through existing accounts on various exchanges or pre-approved, newly opened accounts. “We think it desirable that the BTC and BCH be sent to exchanges in which many creditors have accounts or can open accounts easily,” creditors clarified.
Another sticky issue seemingly resolved, at least for now, is that of fiat paper, cash. Gox still holds residual cash from previous sales, and creditors wish that repaid to who they term “monetary creditors” first.
Alternative coins to either BCH or BTC are no longer being considered in the creditors’ repayment scheme. Differing selections of alts, their notorious volatility, all conspired against their usage in this matter. Creditors describe the notion as “unrealistic.” True too would be such a dump on broader altcoin markets. “There is a possibility that the sale of the altcoins by the trustee would cause a sudden fall in the price of altcoins and security problems may arise if the trustee moves the altcoins. Therefore, the trustee should proceed with the sale of altcoins with careful consideration of these matters,” Gox creditors

The overall resolution plan itself appears to be lagging, and so it is suspected to be submitted by mid February of next year. Depending on the price, of course, payouts could be worth well north of $1 billion, akin to $1.3 billion as of this writing.
